Laser Hair Surgery is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to delay the growth of unwanted hair.

During the procedure for hair removal, a beam of light is applied to the area and is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the skin. This light energy is converted to heat and damages the hair follicles that produce hair. The effect is to inhibit or delay the future hair growth.

Although laser treatment effectively delays hair growth for long periods of time, it usually doesn’t result in permanent hair removal and multiple treatments or maintenance treatment may be needed. The risk of damage to skin is greater when there is less contrast between hair and skin colour.

Common risks associated with laser treatment include:

Pigment Changes – the process may darken or lighten skin

Blistering

Crusting

Scarring

Changes in skin texture

Graying of treated hair

Excessive hair growth around treated areas

Laser hair removal burn

Frequently asked questions

How popular is laser hair removal?

The removal of hair is big business in the UK and 6% of women (2.2 million) have tried it.

Is laser hair removal a regulated practice?

The industry is unregulated and if machines are set at the wrong frequency or directed at areas for too long this can cause burns and leave patches where pigment has been scorched. The lack of regulation means that therapists do not have to have a licence to practice.

What is the correct process a practitioner should follow?

The correct practice is for customers to be offered a patch test first. Good notes should have been taken during the procedure and confirmation of the setting of the laser should have been noted. If your laser hair removal procedure has gone wrong and you have suffered injury or loss as a result you may be entitled to compensation.
